"QLFits3.qlgenerator” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software

Been a fan for a while but it now triggers an error: "QLFits3.qlgenerator” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software" Previously installed manually via binary but tried brew install with same result.

Actually just needed to do this: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/apple-cant-check-app-for-malicious-software-mchleab3a043/mac

Leaving it here in case it's useful for someone!

Thanks. I'll leave this open then for anyone to find it more easily.

For someone who remains perplexed by this warning message, this website summarizes four approaches. With my experience Method 1, i.e. a right-clicking, usually solves the issue of APP opening.
